Death penalty: Is the death penalty for convicted criminals effective in reducing criminal activity?

Well, Mexico is one of the most dangerous places to be in the world, it has insecurity, corruption, etc., it has people who don't want to change this country, people who don't want to be excellent in what they do, all these facts are our main concern nowadays.

People sometimes says that it is Government's guilty, and maybe it is, but i think that the main problem is at home, because familiy is the center of the society, is where everybody have to learn human values, so with that we should make an effort to put this values in our homes.

Some authorities think that death penalty is the best way to fix this problem, but what they don't know is that this can beggin when some people is in lack of money or when they don't have something to survive, so, authorities should give a little extra help for those who are in these situations.

I think that death penalty is a really bad way to solve problems, because we can not play to be God, we can not kill people whenever we want, even if it is a serious problem.

Thanks everybody for this course, I enjoyed it a lot, i hope to see you really soon...bye...

English: An essential part in our University life.

Well, i think that english is one of the most important tools in our lives nowadays. Also it is the universal language, consequently, everybody should speak it. However, it is not like that.
I think people should concern about this, therefore, many people doesn't have a job, because important companies ask for extra "skills" such as english.

Well the important topic here is: Should English be mandatory at Mexican Universities?, of course!, because it gives an extra help for students to be better workers in their future lives, it can gives a lot of chances in different parts of the world, because, like i said, is the universal language. Despite this, some Mexican universities are not considering these chances to their students, furthermore, it is incredible because in this time of globalization, english should be prime in every school, even in kindergarden, elementary , jr. high and high school.

In addition, i think that the best way to learn English is by studying at schools, more at Universities, moreover, people should learn more than one language besides their natural one. Finally i think that our university is making right to learn english, and remember: Learn more than one language doesn't make damage to anyone.

The "scanning" method helped me?

Hello everyone:
I think that the "scanning method" really helped me to search some specific things in a large text, this method was as good as the last we made, because we can learn every week something new, as i said this method is very useful, mainly for students that want to search specific information, and also we can use it when we want to find a phone number, we are only searching for the specific information that we want, not part by part.
This method also helped me to make questions about a text and to be with a friend making these questions, and answer his/her questions.
It has a lot of benefits to do this kind of methods, because we are in the process to learn english, because with these we can read faster than we do it.
So i really enjoyed this week with you guys, i hope to keep doing these kind of methods, are interesting.

Bye...
